Chapter 3 The sound of hooves is like thunder

The character of the man in the green shirt seemed to be very tranquil, and he didn't care about Qin Ke's seemingly unintentional but somewhat offensive question, and said with a faint smile: "Xiao Er, what are we here for?"

Qin Ke frowned, this was obviously his own problem, how could he be kicked back like a ball, but at this moment, he didn't dare to show any curiosity, but just pretended to be curious and chatted casually: "The guest officer looks more like ...... Is the master here to collect materials and write books? Or is he a painter? The year before last, there was also a traveling scholar in our village, but he held a guqin all day long, and he played it for a day. ”

"Almost. The man in the green shirt looked out the window, as if he was a little distracted, "I'm a map drawer." ”

"Draw a map?"

"That's it...... Look at the shape of the mountains and rivers, the direction of the water, and then draw these things into drawings, so that future generations can know where they have gone and how they should walk here by consulting these drawings. The man in the green shirt said softly, "That's pretty much what you said...... Painters, but they don't paint people, let alone landscapes. ”

Abu ate the noodles, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he held back a smile.

"Hmm......" Qin Ke nodded, he had heard from the master about such people, but the master said that most of these people would drive around in the "Jili Drum Car" when they traveled, just because the wheels of this kind of vehicle were convenient for them to record the size.

It's just that these two people obviously didn't drive a vehicle, but came on foot, how can they explain it? Qin Ke originally felt a little suspicious, but after a while, he was disappointed, although the drum car was important, but the road in a mountain village like theirs was impassable, how could the vehicle easily drive in? I think that such a person has another set of ability to draw maps, and will never be limited by vehicles.

However, Qin Ke was a teenager in the end, and this low mood did not last long, but he said a little yearningly: "Traveling the world, will it be interesting?"

The man in green shirt turned his eyes and carefully looked at Qin Ke's young and immature face, and the pair of eyes on it were as bright as stars in the night. He smiled: "I can see a lot of things, but there are also many difficulties and obstacles along the way." ”

The man in green shirt was willing to talk to him, and naturally Qin Ke listened attentively and enjoyed it. After all, he was adopted by his master when he was a child, and now he hasn't traveled far for nearly ten years.

After the war, the four countries outside were all established, and the Mo family, where Daoxiang Village was located, could be said to be the most powerful country among the four countries, and only the profound Tang Kingdom could be compared.

In addition to these two countries, what is unexpected is Canghai and Jingwu, one was originally unknown, the other was originally weak, but in the past two years at an extremely rapid speed of continuous improvement, perhaps the foundation of these two countries is not as good as Tang and Mojia, but their every move still affects the situation in the world.

The world has entered a period of temporary stability because of the establishment of the four countries, and countless displaced people displaced by the war have gradually found a place to live.

The two talked for a long time, Qin Ke seemed to be obsessed, and his eyes revealed a bit of confusion, but every question he asked was extremely clear: "Then guest officer, why did you enter the mountain at this time?"

Abu finished eating the noodles and was about to put down his chopsticks, when he heard this question, his hands couldn't help but tighten.

The man in the green shirt was still calm, but asked rhetorically: "Since you have traveled the world, you always have to come and see what is interesting, don't you?"

Qin Ke, who had hoped for a sudden attack, found that this trick had no effect on the people in green shirts, and the questions behind him were not sure where to start after all, and he finally left the guest room helplessly under the urging of Uncle Ji downstairs, and before leaving, he still asked a little stubbornly: "Guest officer, can you tell me your name? People like you must be very famous, right?"

The man in green shirt smiled, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and in the few wisps of heat from the warm tea, he said: "What's the point of the name? It's just a wandering person who doesn't know how to return." ”

After Qin Ke left, the entire guest room suddenly became much quieter.

Abu looked at the dishes and chopsticks that Qin Ke didn't take away on the table because he was in a hurry, was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Sir, this little second seems to be very weird." ”

The man in green shirt didn't nod or shake his head, just looked out the window and shook the folding fan gently: "It's okay, he just can't let go of it in his heart." ”

Abu heard the hidden meaning of the green-shirted man's words, and asked carefully, "Is this ...... Xiao Er has an old relationship with you?"

The man in the green shirt lowered his head and exhaled lightly: "Count, it doesn't count." Looking at Abu, his eyes changed slightly: "Abu, your Qi cultivation kung fu is still far away." ”

"Yes...... I, I see. Abu didn't dare to ask again, just stood up and looked out the window in a daze: "I don't know when the news of the general will come, he went there alone, which always makes people a little uneasy." ”

The man in the green shirt said calmly: "What's not to worry about. There may be a place in this world where he can stay, but it will never be there. At the moment, in addition to waiting for his signal, we need to wait for another person. ”

At dusk, after Qin Ke was busy serving the Jianghu guests who were sitting in the inn eating and drinking, he finally had a gap with fragrant beef noodles, went out, and squatted down casually on the edge of Qianmo not far from the door.

In the early years, in order to promote the recovery of the withered people's livelihood, the government even issued a decree requiring the people not to kill cattle.

Over the years, the government has abolished the relevant laws and changed them to not kill healthy cattle, but after all, the number of cattle is not too much, and every family has to keep them to cultivate and open up the wasteland, who can be willing to slaughter their own cattle and put them on the table?

The noodles were very strong, and the aroma of the beef was integrated into the soup in the stew, and after taking a sip, Qin Ke only felt that the fishy sweetness danced on his taste buds, and he couldn't help but swallow them fiercely.

In a few moments, fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

Looking up at the door of the inn, he couldn't help but laugh.

Several households in Daoxiang Village have suspended farming and opened inns, but after all, there are as many people in the village as carp crossing the river this month, and no matter how many inns there are, it is impossible to meet such a huge demand.

During the day, these Jianghu guests are looking for clues to treasures in the mountains, and the inn is not too crowded, but when it comes to You, the sky is dark, and these Jianghu guests are unwilling to explore in the dark, so they naturally return to the village.

At this time, the inn was naturally full of guests, and even countless people from the rivers and lakes sat at the door of the inn with the small bench specially prepared for them by Uncle Ji because they couldn't grab the seats in the hall, holding the sea bowl and eating noodle soup or wide noodles in twos and threes.

It should have been a person who drew his sword and looked around, but now he is sitting on a small bench and eating dinner ugly like a farmer, how can this scene not make people feel funny?

But Qin Ke soon didn't have a chance to look any further. At the entrance of the village, which finally calmed down, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves like raindrops!

Although the road in Daoxiang Village is simple, and it can't be remembered, but it can't stop the horses, although Qin Ke has also seen the county official's grandfather riding the short thin horse into the village to observe the people's feelings, but this horse's hooves like a thunderstorm roaring, how can it be a horse raised by an ordinary official eunuch?

"War horse!" Countless Jianghu guests couldn't sit down when they heard such a voice, so they stood up one after another and looked around. Even many of the tenants in the inn walked out of the inn at this moment, looking in the direction of the village entrance, silent in thought.

And in just a few breaths, on the country road, a cavalry team lined up like centipedes galloped straight up!

These war horses are all black, their bodies are strong like fierce beasts, each one is more than a person tall, and between running, their snorts gush with a majestic breath, and their eyes are as black as a long night.

With each undulation, their manes shook violently, and when their hooves hit the ground, it was as if they were thundering on a flat gravel road!

The strong wind blows the wildflowers in the field, and the knight on it has sharp eyes, and he is also dressed in black, covered with a layer of black cowhide armor, with a saber on his waist on the right, and a crossbow on his right waist that is different from the ordinary system, and the arrows are iron arrows, shining with black light in the twilight.
